I carry on

Cold air hits my face

Rain pools on the

Concrete 

But unlike before 

I know these 

Slow motion

Days don’t last

I will breathe again

Maybe tomorrow

I know my heart

Is fierce 

My soul, hardy

Has Weathered many storms 

Like a wildflower

Pushing through cracks

In the pavement

I persevere

A newborn

Fighting for my life

I yell til my lungs are sore

I survive 

Crawling 

Limping

I carry on 

Sunlight will kiss

My face again
